Summer solstice is one of the twenty-four solar terms in China and the eleventh solar term in the China lunar calendar. The summer solstice usually falls between June 20th and 22nd in Gregorian calendar, when the sun reaches 90 degrees of the Yellow Meridian, which is the longest day and the shortest night in the Arctic Circle. "Three shifts" refers to the combination of dry branches on the day of summer solstice, and the dry branches in ten days are arranged three times in turn. Therefore, "The Summer Solstice of the Third Night" means that the third night appears on the summer solstice, which is considered as an auspicious symbol among the people.

The summer solstice is the longest day in the solar year. At this time, the sun has the highest height and the most abundant radiation, which has an important impact on the growth activities of living things. Summer solstice is also one of the important traditional festivals in ancient China. During this period, people will hold various celebrations, such as offering sacrifices, incense and drinking iced powder. In addition, the summer solstice also has the significance of Labor Day.
